Rob Preston, president and CEO of the Athens Area Chamber of Commerce, is always running somewhere. His work keeps him on the go, but his favorite hobby for almost 20 years is running. He often is up before the roosters crow, pounding the pavement for a morning workout. At age 48, he has competed in 106 marathons covering the entire United States and five continents. He has a journal of his experiences with dates, places, weather conditions, race finishes, number of entrants, and special occurrences that he can refer to instantly.

This year's theme is "Under the Tuscan Sky" and will have you feeling as if you are cruising down the canal in a gondola through Ancient Italy, as you smell the aroma and enjoy good food, drink a glass of good wine, dance and listen to good music and share in laughs and conversation with good friends. Find that perfect date, bring a family member or a group of friends and we guarantee you will have a GOOD night and walk away with a new perspective about enduring love!
